Hi, my name is Joel

But around these parts, I’m known as Big J. When I turned 13, I joined a school band where they taught me to play the trumpet, trombone, tuba, and drums. My passion for music grew from there. At 18 years old, I dabbled in radio announcing. I freelanced for various stations, but found that what made me happiest was making people dance through DJ’ing or MC’ing. This was something that quickly helped me gain traction as a respected entertainer in local nightclubs such as St Mick’s, Area 51, or Island Jamaica. Now I bring the music and fun to the party for everyone as Big J.

 Some facts about Me

music in my soul

I’ve always been passionate about music. As a young boy of 5, I began picking out notes on the piano by ear. Soon after, my parents noticed my natural talent and enrolled me in music lessons to further hone this skill. But I was determined to explore more than just classical music; as soon as I was old enough, he picked up the guitar and started playing it too!

I did it my way

I wanted a different crowd to share my love of music. So when an entertainment company offered me an entertaining job as a guest at weddings and quinceañeros, I couldn’t resist! My MC-DJ capabilities slowly gained notoriety among event coordinators who kept asking for more parties with me behind the mic and decks!

BIG J IS BORN

So finally, in 2006, with much help from family & friends —- and, of course, all those loyal clients — I decided to set up Big J Music Services: offering first-class musical services for all occasions. Thus today, you can find me rocking every club & wedding in Puerto Rico!

 

I am the one person You NEED to have a rocking wedding & event!

So go ahead, let loose, and get ready to experience fun, energetic, uplifting tunes that will make your big day one you’ll never forget! When I see people dancing and coming out of their shell to and having a great time, it fills me with joy knowing I’m bringing that to every event!

He did a great job of reading the crowd. We requested some older 60's/70's that he played in the beginning of the night and then slowly brought in music from the younger crowd later. The part that we loved was that he made the event so personal to us. He called out our names, made some fun jokes, and even though we just met him that night, we felt like we had known him for years! No words can express how happy my husband and I were after our wedding.

He was spinning with skill! He mashed up some of our favorite artists from Beyoncé, to Kendrick Lamar, to Disclosure, to my hometown Houston music. He strategically started the night off with 70s and 80s for the older crowd to get their groove on before they went to bed. Then, he followed that up with the 90s, 00s, and 10s for the younger crowd to "get lit!" Many of the wedding guests are STILL talking (6 months later) about how this was the most fun they have had in a long time at a wedding ever! I owe this to Big J. Toast to the best DJ in Puerto Rico!

When I read Big J's reviews on wedding wire I thought to myself "This guy can't be that good. These reviews can't be real." Man was I wrong. Joel is the real deal people! He has a library of songs to choose from which contained hits for all generations and ages. He had smooth transitions and even blended songs that were of different tempos cleanly. Mad skills! Book this dude for your wedding! You'd be a fool not to. Thank you Joel for being a part of Elvira and I's wedding. You made it a party we will never forget!!! Keep up the great work.

I ensure your special day is delightful and unforgettable!
